Simrad HALO 2000 Open Array Radar

The Simrad HALO 2000 is a 50W Pulse Compression Radar system. It comes with a HALO pedestal, 6 foot antenna, RI-50 power supply and a 20 m (65.5') cable. All you need to add is a compatible multi-function display and you're ready to go.

Features:

• HALO 2000 has 50W power for longer range (from 6m to up to 72nm) and higher-resolution target detection: equivalent to a 12 kW magnetron radar
• Advanced pulse compression technology with beam sharpening: enables confident navigation through marinas, along with superior storm and hazard detection across a greater distance
• Simultaneous dual range operation allows you to keep an eye on distant weather cells while monitoring channel markers and high-speed watercraft up close
• Increases situational awareness and collision avoidance
• Easy operation with Harbor, Offshore, Weather, and Bird modes
• Track up to 50 targets per defined area with ZoneTrack (two areas can be defined): automatically detects the vessels' course and speed
• VelocityTrack Doppler technology for collision avoidance
• Dangerous target alerts for radar and AIS targets: provides highlighted range, graphical bearing, and heading of other vessels relative to yours
• Ready instantly from standby, and in 16-25 seconds from power-on
• Compatible with a range of Simrad® chart plotters, including NSS, NSX, NSO, and GO
